Mixed Prints // Visiting Carmel Valley Wine Country

Visiting Carmel Valley Wine Country @ASideofSweet

During my San Francisco staycation, we had a mini girls getaway to the Carmel Valley. Sarah, Annie, Alexis and I piled in a car and headed a few hours south of San Francisco for some relaxation in Carmel Valley’s wine country. I really didn’t know Carmel even had a wine country, but it definitely gives Napa a run for its money! We sipped wine, soaked in the scenery, gossiped and giggled. There was lots of giggling.

We stayed at Holman Ranch for the night, which was absolutely lovely. Can you believe these picturesque surroundings? Holman Ranch hosts weddings and it made me want to get married all over again!

For it to work though, there has to be something that unifies the outfit. I picked a scarf and dress in contrasting prints, but they work together because they are in the same color family. Because it was late fall, no bare legs here thanks to my go-to colored tights.

    It looks like you had such a fun time! Your outfit is so cute too! I’m starting to wish that we would have gone to wine country during our trip to San Francisco – looks like we would have had a great time!

    I love Carmel but also didn’t realize that it had a wine country (could it possibly get any better already?). Holman Ranch looks like it is quite the feast for the eyes. I can see why it would ignite the desire to get married all over again (perhaps a vow renewal is in your future?).

    Sounds like an idyllic girls’ weekend! I LOVE the idea of mixing prints and the way you did it… I have yet to give it a shot. P.S. Just learned 10 facts about you via the video on your About page!
